چکیده

Complementing recent progress on classical complexity and polynomial-time approximability of feedback set problems in (bipartite) tournaments, we extend and partially improve fixed-parameter tractability results for these problems. We show that Feedback Vertex Set in tournaments is amenable to the novel iterative compression technique. Moreover, we provide data reductions and problem kernels for Feedback Vertex Set and Feedback Arc Set in tournaments, and a depthbounded search tree for Feedback Arc Set in bipartite tournaments based on a new forbidden subgraph characterization.

Parameterized algorithms for feedback set problems and their duals in tournaments

The parameterized feedback vertex (arc) set problem is to find whether there are k vertices (arcs) in a given graph whose removal makes the graph acyclic. The parameterized complexity of this problem in general directed graphs is a long standing open problem. We investigate the problems on tournaments, a well studied class of directed graphs. We consider both weighted and unweighted versions. W...

Fixed-Parameter Tractability and Completeness II: On Completeness for W[1]

For many fixed-parameter problems that are trivially solvable in polynomial-time, such as kDOMINATING SET, essentially no better algorithm is presently known than the one which tries all possible solutions. Other problems, such as FEEDBACK VERTEX SET, exhibit fixed-parameter tractability: for each fixed k the problem is solvable in time bounded by a polynomial of degree c, where c is a constant...

Fixed-Parameter Tractability Results for Full-Degree Spanning Tree and Its Dual

We provide first-time fixed-parameter tractability results for the NPhard problems Maximum Full-Degree Spanning Tree and MinimumVertex Feedback Edge Set. These problems are dual to each other: In Maximum Full-Degree Spanning Tree, the task is to find a spanning tree for a given graph that maximizes the number of vertices that preserve their degree. For Minimum-Vertex Feedback Edge Set, the task...
